Not at all. A lot of military personnel have tattoos.

That should be fine, the military allows tattoos on the back of the neck just not the sides of the neck.

No, it won't.

Drill instructors, know in the navy as company commanders, aren't interested in tattoos. They are interested in providing the recruits basic training. Besides, most don't read Chinese.

Believe or not some of THEM have tattoos.

Good luck

I'm not sure about the Navy, but in the Army it would not be a problem. Most of the time, as long as it is covered and cannot be visible in uniform or the short sleeve uniform, and does not represent a gang or terroristic organization, then it should be good. You say that her hair covers it, remember, her hair must be up in a bun or something like that when she is in uniform. go to:

When my father worked at a MEPS (where they check you out before sending you off) some years back, a swastika was the only tattoo specifically forbidden.

Its doubtful but If she gets past MEPS ( Military Entrance Processing Station) with the tattoo, and we get her, either the night she arrives or the next day the tattoo will be photographed and sent to our tattoo office for verification of what it says. If it is determined to be offensive, too large or just draws too much attention away from the proper wear of a uniform she will be discharged from the navy. Read below for more info.

7. TATTOOS/BODY ART/BRANDS. Four Criteria will be
used to determine whether tattoos/body art/brands are
permitted for Navy personnel: content, location, size and
cosmetic.

a. Content. Tattoos/body art/brands located
anywhere on the body that are prejudicial to good order,
discipline, and morale or are of a nature to bring
discredit upon the naval service are prohibited. For
example, tattoos/body art/brands that are obscene, sexually
explicit, and or advocate discrimination based on sex,
race, religion, ethnic, or national origin are prohibited.
In addition, tattoos/body art/brands that symbolize
affiliation with gangs, supremacist or extremist groups, or
advocate illegal drug use are prohibited.

b. Location. No tattoos/body art/brands on the
head, face, neck, or scalp. The neck area for purposes of
this regulation is any portion visible when wearing a crew
neck T-shirt or open collar uniform shirt. In addition,
otherwise permissible tattoos/body art/brands on the torso
area of the body shall not be visible through white uniform
clothing.

c. Size. Individual tattoos/body art/brands
exposed by wearing a short sleeve uniform shirt shall be no
larger in size than the wearer’s hand with fingers extended
and joined with the thumb touching the base of the index
finger. Tattoos/body art/brands that exceed size criteria
are waiverable provided they do not violate the content
and/or location criteria.

d. Cosmetic. This regulation does not prohibit
cosmetic tattooing to correct medical conditions requiring
such treatment. For the purpose of this regulation,
cosmetic tattooing refers to medical or surgical procedures
conducted by licensed, qualified medical personnel.

No problem. But nowadays they want chain of command approval for tattoos once she is enlisted if she ever wants a new one. But people get new ones all the time without hassle. As long as it's not racist, anti-anything, etc…
